Any of our coders here interested in doing some iPhone/iPad development?

[W1zzard]

Looking for someone to write a TPU app, I don't have the time right now.

TPU has a signing key for the app store. Some sort of compensation can be negotiated.

This could also work to self-teach Objective C / iPhone development. With a Java or C++ programming background it won't be too hard.

I am doing some Java for the Android market currently. What are the specifics?

 

[W1zzard]

i have no idea yet .. just wanted to check if someone was interested in it

 

[qubit]

My love of all things Apple might cause me to "inadvertantly" leave a mini-nuke in the app, temporarily disabling the device.

So I probably better not get involved...

You need to have a Mac running a Mac OS to use the SDK, no?

I don't think you will need a Mac, but you will certainly need the SDK. Heard my friend telling me about getting the SDK sometime ago, but he only has Windows.

you can install Mac OS X on most recent PCs, then you need XCode which is the IDE/SDK. It comes with an emulator for testing

You need at least Snow Leopard to run their SDK, it can not be run on Windows machines. I bought a second-hand MacBook specifically for programming for the iPhone. First I tried an Acer Netbook hackintosh but it didn't cut it.

I am willing to program for the android market if the need arises. Studies have shown last month that the amount of Android operating systems have passed Iphone OS on the market. I am not sure if this study included tablets or not.

Macs are expensive to buy just to program for the Iphone unfortunately.

Some ideas...

• An iPhone overclocking utility (warrantee? forget it.)
• TPU skins or backgrounds (have a screen with a w/c bubbler)
• Hardware pic upload to image hosting on TPU?

I'll try to think of more... and serious ones. No coding here, but have an acquaintance who has a Droid app published.

The overclocking utility will reduce the amount if Iphones on the market. Good thinking Sasqui!

nonono .. this is about an application to access tpu's content on mobile devices

i have no idea about demand for an android app .. but if you are interested and have the time, sure why not.

We do have quite a few people in the Android clubhouse. I'd wager TPU has more Android than iPhone users.

Some sort of compensation can be negotiated.

Compensation has already been served by the TPU family in the last three years.

I would be very interested in this project.

Some things to add:

-Review viewer
-News viewer
-Way to respond to PMs maybe, but most phones have built in browsers.

I actually just started a poll because I want to know this. (would like to see it as a front page poll too....)

I'd download and use a TPU app for my Android devices in a second.

 

[pantherx12]

Would it not be easier to simply code a mobile version of the website so when accessed through a mobile devices browser you get a slightly different TPU that's resized/shaped to fit?

That way you don't have to worry about compatibility .

Like

m.gmail.com

m.youtube.com

etc

w1zz look at this - http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/poll.php?do=showresults&pollid=1466

we have 10 android users to every iphone users, an iphone app seams like a waste of time

i agree with pantherx though, i would love a mobile version as currently i have to go to preferences every time i long on and disable sig's and avatars so the site will load within the day

 

[W1zzard]

more thoughts on mobile version vs. iphone vs. android please

 

[cheesy999]

more thoughts on mobile version vs. iphone vs. android please

Mobile would also help for the TPU members who browse through their psp

Barely anyone at TPU uses an iphone

Anyone with an android phone can access the tpu website easily the mobile version is the best idea as its only those of us using our old pre-3g phones who have a problem

Can we add a "No Thanks" button to posts?

There are some folks at my job getting into iOS dev. If you have no other takers I can ask around.

Yeah, an Android app-or both-may be the way to go though.

 

[Frick]

A mobile version will cover more ground but a dedicated Android/iOS version would probably look/behave better. But it kinda depends on how you look at it.

Some ideas...

• Hardware pic upload to image hosting on TPU?

That is a very good idea. A way to upload phone pics to TPU directly?

 

[GSquadron]

Can i be in as a practicant?

 

[TRIPTEX_CAN]

Poll is still too new to be a definitive source to claim there are no iPhone users here. Native apps for either platform would be awesome but I believe a mobile version of the site would still be useful. Android embodies the true nature of hardware and software enthusiasm far more than iphones ever will. Android is more in line with the community imo.

 

[Frizz]

I like the sound of m.youtube.com, the people who use their iphones to access this site are most likely lurkers and don't bother to register. I am an iPhone user as I just wanted something that works and I think there would be alot more guests or visitors if a dedicated app for the iphone OS were made. I think it would be less of a hassle to cater for iOS app as you'd only need to make it compatible with one device. I am no coder or programmer but that could factor the process.
